The Dauphin RCMP is investigating a fatal collision that took place on Highway 5, just west of Gilbert Plains on Monday.

Police say a vehicle traveling east crossed the centre line and collided with a semi-truck that was heading west. They believe that icy conditions were a factor in the crash.

The driver of the eastbound vehicle, a 72-year-old female from the RM of Grandview, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The semi-driver, a 53-year-old male from Dauphin was not physically injured.
